Tasting Notes
Jasper Morris 90-93
More the purple side of crimson. A wealth of cherry-raspberry red fruit. More structure and less delicacy than most in Volnay, explained by the vineyard s proximity to Pommard. However, the fruit is both pure and fills the palate nicely, through to a crunchy finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2028-2033
Vinous 87-89
The 2021 Volnay Les Pitures 1er Cru probably owns the most satisfying aromatics from a difficult set of reds from the Domaine: redcurrant and white tipped strawberry and a touch of sous-bois. There is a tad more fruit intensity here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, quite saline, structured and a little lean on the finish, yet it still offers more depth than the Clos des Chenes or Taillepieds.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2035
